Train employees faster

Simutech’s Troubleshooting Skills Training System™

Our complete training system includes 6 interactive modules with software simulations ranging from basic electrical circuits to systems with PLC controls. With numerous realistic simulations and over 240 fault-finding challenges, it’s easy to learn and maintain a proven troubleshooting process you can use time and time again.

Practice troubleshooting a wide range of problems including opens, shorts, overloads, single-phasing and more! Our course manager makes it painless to track your staff’s progress along the way to identify areas in need of improvement.

“We at Domtar have multiple machines for cutting paper, all are pretty elaborate electrically. Your program has given my employees a much better understanding of what it takes to troubleshoot a problem and has reduced downtime as a result. The fact that they can use the program at their leisure keeps them sharp for when the skill is actually needed. This program has been worth its weight in gold.”Sam A.

Troubleshooting Modules

Receive hands-on training on several electrical circuit simulations, covering key troubleshooting techniques, and diagnose a variety of problems on the main lighting circuit simulation. These simulations contain common components. Learn more.

With two unique control circuit simulations, including an electric door lock simulation, users will encounter a range of malfunctions found in typical control circuits containing components including relays, transformers, switches, and solenoids. Learn more.

The motor lab simulations contain components such as three-phase motors, transformers, contactors, overloads, fuses, and limit switches. Users will troubleshoot three-phase power circuits and the control portion of these motor circuits. Learn more.

This module includes several circuit simulations containing generic PLCs with digital inputs and outputs providing the basic functioning of PLCs and their circuits. Over a dozen ladder programs provide a variety of circuit functionality to troubleshoot. Learn more.

The PLC in this simulation has 20 PLC programs available providing a variety of different processes. Users will disconnect wires, take meter readings, and connect a virtual laptop to compare readings and settings against schematics. Learn more.

A systematic approach to troubleshooting

The Troubleshooting Skills Training System™ was built around our 5-step systematic approach to electrical troubleshooting. Users first learn the fundamentals of the troubleshooting approach, followed by consistent hands-on practice and skills maintenance using our simulation software.

Observe Behavior

Gather information, use your senses and list observations.

Define Problem Area

Eliminate areas of the circuit that are working properly.

Identify Possible Causes

Include every component in the problem area when identifying all possible causes of the malfunction.

Test

Perform tests to positively identify faulty component.

Repair and Confirm

Replace faulty component and check all features to ensure all faults have been repaired.
